Style Loader

style-loader

Inject CSS into the DOM.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install style-loader:

npm install --save-dev style-loader

It's recommended to combine style-loader with the css-loader

Then add the loader to your webpack config. For example:

style.css

body {
  background: green;
}

component.js

import './style.css';

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
injectType	{String}	styleTag	Allows to setup how styles will be injected into the DOM
attributes	{Object}	{}	Adds custom attributes to tag
insert	{String\|Function}	head	Inserts tag at the given position into the DOM
base	{Number}	true	Sets module ID base (DLLPlugin)
esModule	{Boolean}	false	Use ES modules syntax
modules	{Object}	undefined	Configuration CSS Modules

injectType

Type: String Default: styleTag

Allows to setup how styles will be injected into the DOM.

Possible values:

• styleTag
• singletonStyleTag
• lazyStyleTag
• lazySingletonStyleTag
• linkTag

styleTag

Automatically injects styles into the DOM using multiple <style></style>. It is default behaviour.

component.js

import './styles.css';

Example with Locals (CSS Modules):

component-with-css-modules.js

import styles from './styles.css';

const divElement = document.createElement('div');
divElement.className = styles['my-class'];

All locals (class names) stored in imported object.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          // The `injectType`  option can be avoided because it is default behaviour
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { injectType: 'styleTag' } },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader inject styles like:

<style>
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
</style>
<style>
  .bar {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

singletonStyleTag

Automatically injects styles into the DOM using one <style></style>.

⚠ Source maps do not work.

component.js

import './styles.css';

component-with-css-modules.js

import styles from './styles.css';

const divElement = document.createElement('div');
divElement.className = styles['my-class'];

All locals (class names) stored in imported object.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: { injectType: 'singletonStyleTag' },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader inject styles like:

<style>
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
  .bar {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

lazyStyleTag

Injects styles into the DOM using multiple <style></style> on demand. We recommend following .lazy.css naming convention for lazy styles and the .css for basic style-loader usage (similar to other file types, i.e. .lazy.less and .less). When you lazyStyleTag value the style-loader injects the styles lazily making them useable on-demand via style.use() / style.unuse().

⚠️ Behavior is undefined when unuse is called more often than use. Don't do that.

component.js

import styles from './styles.lazy.css';

styles.use();
// For removing styles you can use
// styles.unuse();

component-with-css-modules.js

import styles from './styles.lazy.css';

styles.use();

const divElement = document.createElement('div');
divElement.className = styles.locals['my-class'];

All locals (class names) stored in locals property of imported object.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        exclude: /\.lazy\.css$/i,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
      },
      {
        test: /\.lazy\.css$/i,
        use: [
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { injectType: 'lazyStyleTag' } },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader inject styles like:

<style>
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
</style>
<style>
  .bar {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

lazySingletonStyleTag

Injects styles into the DOM using one <style></style> on demand. We recommend following .lazy.css naming convention for lazy styles and the .css for basic style-loader usage (similar to other file types, i.e. .lazy.less and .less). When you lazySingletonStyleTag value the style-loader injects the styles lazily making them useable on-demand via style.use() / style.unuse().

⚠️ Source maps do not work.

⚠️ Behavior is undefined when unuse is called more often than use. Don't do that.

component.js

import styles from './styles.css';

styles.use();
// For removing styles you can use
// styles.unuse();

component-with-css-modules.js

import styles from './styles.lazy.css';

styles.use();

const divElement = document.createElement('div');
divElement.className = styles.locals['my-class'];

All locals (class names) stored in locals property of imported object.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        exclude: /\.lazy\.css$/i,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
      },
      {
        test: /\.lazy\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: { injectType: 'lazySingletonStyleTag' },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader generate this:

<style>
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
  .bar {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

linkTag

Injects styles into the DOM using multiple <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/file.css"> .

ℹ️ The loader will dynamically insert the <link href="path/to/file.css" rel="stylesheet"> tag at runtime via JavaScript. You should use MiniCssExtractPlugin if you want to include a static <link href="path/to/file.css" rel="stylesheet">.

import './styles.css';
import './other-styles.css';

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.link\.css$/i,
        use: [
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { injectType: 'linkTag' } },
          { loader: 'file-loader' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader generate this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/other-styles.css" />

attributes

Type: Object Default: {}

If defined, the style-loader will attach given attributes with their values on <style> / <link> element.

component.js

import style from './file.css';

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { attributes: { id: 'id' } } },
          { loader: 'css-loader' },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

<style id="id"></style>

insert

Type: String|Function Default: head

By default, the style-loader appends <style>/<link> elements to the end of the style target, which is the <head> tag of the page unless specified by insert. This will cause CSS created by the loader to take priority over CSS already present in the target. You can use other values if the standard behavior is not suitable for you, but we do not recommend doing this. If you target an iframe make sure you have sufficient access rights, the styles will be injected into the content document head.

String

Allows to setup custom query selector where styles inject into the DOM.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              insert: 'body',
            },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

A new <style>/<link> elements will be inserted into at bottom of body tag.

Function

Allows to override default behavior and insert styles at any position.

⚠ Do not forget that this code will be used in the browser and not all browsers support latest ECMA features like let, const, arrow function expression and etc, we recommend use only ECMA 5 features, but it is depends what browsers you want to support ⚠ Do not forget that some DOM methods may not be available in older browsers, we recommended use only DOM core level 2 properties, but it is depends what browsers you want to support

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              insert: function insertAtTop(element) {
                var parent = document.querySelector('head');
                // eslint-disable-next-line no-underscore-dangle
                var lastInsertedElement =
                  window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader;

                if (!lastInsertedElement) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, parent.firstChild);
                } else if (lastInsertedElement.nextSibling) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, lastInsertedElement.nextSibling);
                } else {
                  parent.appendChild(element);
                }

                // eslint-disable-next-line no-underscore-dangle
                window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader = element;
              },
            },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Insert styles at top of head tag.

base

This setting is primarily used as a workaround for css clashes when using one or more DllPlugin's. base allows you to prevent either the app's css (or DllPlugin2's css) from overwriting DllPlugin1's css by specifying a css module id base which is greater than the range used by DllPlugin1 e.g.:

webpack.dll1.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
      },
    ],
  },
};

webpack.dll2.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { base: 1000 } },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

webpack.app.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          { loader: 'style-loader', options: { base: 2000 } },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

esModule

Type: Boolean Default: false

By default, style-loader generates JS modules that use the CommonJS modules syntax. There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of module concatenation and tree shaking.

You can enable a ES module syntax using:

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        loader: 'style-loader',
        options: {
          esModule: true,
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

modules

Type: Object Default: undefined

Configuration CSS Modules.

namedExport

Type: Boolean Default: false

Enables/disables ES modules named export for locals.

⚠ Names of locals are converted to camelCase.

⚠ It is not allowed to use JavaScript reserved words in css class names.

⚠ Options esModule and modules.namedExport in css-loader and style-loader should be enabled.

styles.css

.foo-baz {
  color: red;
}
.bar {
  color: blue;
}

index.js

import { fooBaz, bar } from './styles.css';

console.log(fooBaz, bar);

You can enable a ES module named export using:

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              esModule: true,
              modules: {
                namedExport: true,
              },
            },
          },
          {
            loader: 'css-loader',
            options: {
              esModule: true,
              modules: {
                namedExport: true,
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Examples

Source maps

The loader automatically inject source maps when previous loader emit them. Therefore, to generate source maps, set the sourceMap option to true for the previous loader.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          'style-loader',
          { loader: 'css-loader', options: { sourceMap: true } },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Nonce

There are two ways to work with nonce:

• using the attributes option
• using the __webpack_nonce__ variable

⚠ the attributes option takes precedence over the __webpack_nonce__ variable

attributes

component.js

import './style.css';

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              attributes: {
                nonce: '12345678',
              },
            },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader generate:

<style nonce="12345678">
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

__webpack_nonce__

create-nonce.js

__webpack_nonce__ = '12345678';

component.js

import './create-nonce.js';
import './style.css';

Alternative example for require:

component.js

__webpack_nonce__ = '12345678';

require('./style.css');

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
      },
    ],
  },
};

The loader generate:

<style nonce="12345678">
  .foo {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

Insert styles at top

Inserts styles at top of head tag.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              insert: function insertAtTop(element) {
                var parent = document.querySelector('head');
                var lastInsertedElement =
                  window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader;

                if (!lastInsertedElement) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, parent.firstChild);
                } else if (lastInsertedElement.nextSibling) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, lastInsertedElement.nextSibling);
                } else {
                  parent.appendChild(element);
                }

                window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader = element;
              },
            },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Insert styles before target element

Inserts styles before #id element.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'style-loader',
            options: {
              insert: function insertBeforeAt(element) {
                const parent = document.querySelector('head');
                const target = document.querySelector('#id');

                const lastInsertedElement =
                  window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader;

                if (!lastInsertedElement) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, target);
                } else if (lastInsertedElement.nextSibling) {
                  parent.insertBefore(element, lastInsertedElement.nextSibling);
                } else {
                  parent.appendChild(element);
                }

                window._lastElementInsertedByStyleLoader = element;
              },
            },
          },
          'css-loader',
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};
